Introduction:
Covid 19 (SARS‐CoV‐2) pandemic is the most serious medical problem worldwide nowadays.
One of the primary findings for COVID-19 is pneumonia (1)(2).
Many cases with chest infection may have similar symptoms and signs with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection.
Real‐time reverse‐transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) assay is the test widely used to diagnose SARS‐CoV‐2 (3).
However, RT‐PCR test results of pharyngeal swab specimens have some variability and potential instability, therefore it should not be considered as the only indicator for diagnosis (4)
Although Covid 19 infected patients have some typical radiological CT findings even in asymptomatic patients (5), atypical findings are increasingly common. Uptill now the role of CT poorly defined for diagnosis of Covid-19 patients or in expecting their outcome (6).
Few studies have reported the predictors of prognosis in Covid 19 patients (7)(8).
Lung ultrasound (ULS) has been widely considered over the last years due to its medical and surgical value (9)(10).
The role of lung ULS in the care of patients with critical respiratory conditions is nowadays widely documented (11) .
Aim: We aim to find simple bedside investigations that could suspect the diagnosis and/or predict the prognosis of Covid 19 infection.
